Chapter 115： pay you

The next day, Yingbao arranged for Chu Chu to help her clear up wasteland and expand her vegetable garden.

The original vegetable plot was too small, my parents were too busy, and I couldn’t turn it over myself, so I had to hire a helper.

 Facts have proved that she was right. This Chu Chu is very capable. Not only does she work quickly, but she is also very careful.

She first chopped down the weeds, and then began to dig the ground, digging out grass roots and shrub roots, shaking off the soil and throwing it into a pile.

Chu Chu broke up the soil while digging, and also picked out all the pebbles, making the ground soft and smooth.

Yingbao was very satisfied and immediately gave her a boiled egg.

Chu Chu took the egg, her eyes were red, and she thanked her in a low voice: "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Eat quickly. Oh, by the way, you can pick some vegetables and eat them when you cook later. I'll get you some salt later."

It’s not that Yingbao didn’t let her have room and board at home, but because of Chu Chu’s special status, he couldn’t take her home and let her eat at the same table as her parents.

“Hmm.” Chu Chu carefully peeled off the eggshell. The egg white stuck to the eggshell was not lost at all, so she picked it all out and ate it.

Yingbao ran home and picked up a dark kohlrabi. She also filled a small earthenware bowl with some salt and brought it to the hut.

Now the hut has been tidied up by Chu Chu, and the quilts are neatly folded.

On the ground outside the hut, Chu Chu also built a simple stove with stones. He picked up a lot of dry firewood and piled it next to it. He used pots to cook on the stove on weekdays.

Of course, the Huozhezi and everything else were given by Yingbao.

On this day, Er Ni ran over, grabbed Ying Bao and walked back. As she walked, she said, "Sister Dani is here to ask you a question."

Of course Yingbao knew what Dani wanted to ask, and she had already thought of how to say it.

When she arrived at her uncle’s house, she saw Dani staring angrily at her, “Yingbao, why did you keep that Chu girl here?”

Ying Bao said with a smile, "I hired her to help me work."

Dani was speechless. "Why hire her? You don't know that she is a replacement from the Chu family."

Ying Bao blinked and said, "What a replacement? Brother Dacheng doesn't have a marriage contract with her. She has an employment relationship with our Jiang family now, nothing else."

Dani:…

It is true that my eldest brother and this woman do not have a marriage certificate, and this woman works for the third uncle's family, Yingbao, and does not work for me.

Dani’s face softened slightly and she muttered: “Then you can’t keep her either.”

Ying Bao: "If I don't keep her, and she refuses to go home, what if something happens to her while she sleeps in the haystack at night?"

Dani was stunned for a moment and fell silent.

Zhou and her husband in the room looked at each other and sighed. "We can't think it through as well as Yingbao, alas."

Jiang Dalang: "You and I were also angry for a moment, and even now that I think about it, the child of the Chu family is a girl after all. She can't be left alone outside. Our southern **** is deserted. If something happens, it will be really troublesome. ”

"It's not a bad idea that came from the Chu family. Alas, just let Ying Bao do whatever he wants, as long as it doesn't involve Dacheng Xing." Mrs. Zhou felt exhausted both mentally and physically.

Jiang Dalang reassured: "With Ying Bao watching, Dacheng will never be implicated in any way, don't worry."

…

In the next few days, Chu Chu worked hard and soon opened a large vegetable field.

After the vegetable field was leveled, Yingbao took her to the wild bamboo forest to cut bamboo and drag it back. She cut off the branches and left only bamboo poles to insert around the vegetable field.

When the bamboo fence was being put up, Ying Bao asked that the hut be enclosed as well.

By the time the bamboo fence was installed and vegetable seeds were sown on the vegetable field, it was already May, and the Jiang family began to harvest golden ear.

Yingbao’s golden ears mature earlier than Dad’s, and most of them have been harvested by now.

After Chu Chu watched carefully for half a day, he was able to master it so well that he could do it faster than Ying Bao.

So Yingbao let her do it, and started growing the bacteria herself.

This busy work lasted several days.

Golden fungus and snow fungus were dried in the hot sun for a few days. Yingbao packed them in buckets and moved them into the warehouse at home for storage.

By this time, the work assigned to Chu Chu by Ying Bao had come to an end, and it was time to pay the reward. "Sister Chuchu, here are three strings of coins. Count them." Yingbao pushed the three large bunches of copper coins over.

Chu Chu endured her excitement and wiped her hands on her old clothes again and again before going to get the copper coins. "Really, really give it all to me?"

"Yes, this is your monthly salary, we agreed." Ying Bao said with a smile.

Sister Chu has done her a great favor. She originally wanted to give her more rewards, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.

Chu Chu counted the copper coins one by one, feeling very happy.

At this age, she has never been exposed to so many copper coins, and she feels like she is in a dream.

The counting got messy. Chu Chu did not count any more, but started to cry while holding the copper coins.

This is what she earned. She earned a lot of money through her own efforts.

“Ying Bao, can I really take all this money away?” Chu Chu still couldn’t believe it: “Will your parents scold you?”

"This is the reward you deserve. Why do my parents scold me?"

Ying Bao patted Chu Chu on the shoulder and said seriously: "If you continue to work with me in the future, I will pay you."

Chu Chu nodded vigorously: "I'll follow you!"

After a moment of hesitation, Qi Qi Ai Ai asked: "Ying Bao, I...can I go home first?"

"Of course." Yingbao nodded: "The summer harvest is about to begin, and I will give you a month's farm leave."

Chu Chu jumped up happily, hugged Ying Bao hard, and choked with sobs: "Thank you Ying Bao."

Early the next morning, Chu Chu walked out of the hut with her small package on her back, closed the door, and walked out of the bamboo fence with brisk steps.

Looking up, she saw a mule cart parked in front of her. Xiao Yingbao, her two little brothers and her mother were sitting on the shaft of the cart and smiling at her.

“Hurry up and get in the car, we’ll take you back.” Chun Niang said with a smile.

She has also noticed these days that this girl is really good.

Honest and hard-working, not afraid of suffering, he is a good boy.

Chu Chu pursed her lips, hummed lowly, and climbed onto the mule cart.

Secretly wiping away her tears, Chu Chu raised a smile and spoke to Chun Niang: "Auntie, thank you."

Chun Niang said angrily: "Silly boy, what are you thanking for? We are going to the town and will take you home by the way."

“Yeah.” Chu Chu nodded.

She knew that Aunt Xu said this on purpose, because Chushan Village was not in the same direction as the town.

This trip will be driven by Yingbao.

The mule listened to her words and ran very fast without even using the whip. It was not lazy at all.

The mule cart soon arrived at Chushan Village and stopped in front of Chu Laoshi's house.

As soon as Chu Chu jumped out of the car, he saw his younger brother Chu Qing running towards him. "Sister! Sister!"

Chu Qing threw herself into her sister's arms and burst into tears.

Chu Chu also cried, hugging her brother and asking this and that.

Ying Bao only took one look, then whipped his whip and drove away in a mule cart.

When I passed by a young man, I couldn't help but stare at him for a moment.

Chu Yan?

It’s really Chu Yan!

I saw that he was slender and had stern eyebrows. Although he still looked childish, his expression and aura were unmistakable.

The young man turned his head to look at her. In just a moment, he turned back and ran towards Chu Chu quickly.

The mule cart passed him, going further and further away, and gradually disappeared into the distance.
